Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

Just like that, Lu Xiao crossed the front yard and soon arrived in front of Haoqi Tower.

After chatting with the two night watchmen in front of the building for a while, he went upstairs.

After arriving at the tea room on the top floor, he immediately saw Wei Yuan sitting at the tea table reading a book.

"Duke Wei is in such a good mood to peel off the VII Si Yan tumor according to his age."

Lu Xiao said loudly.

After hearing his voice, Wei Yuan immediately raised his head, with a slightly strange look in his eyes.

But then he still said with a smile on his face.

"What a rare guest! I thought you wouldn't dare come see me after you took advantage of my night watchman's office."

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Lord Wei, you're exaggerating. The case of the Earl of Pingyuan can't be considered exploitation, by any means. At most, we each took what we needed."

While he was speaking, he had already walked up to Wei Yuan and sat down.

Chapter 266: Lord Wei, you are the second master of spiritual energy, please help me

Seeing Lu Xiao acting as if he were at home, Wei Yuan couldn't help but say.

"You're being too rude, aren't you?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Duke Wei is a generous man. I don't think he would care about these conventional etiquette."

Duke Wei said angrily, "What brings you to me today? Not to mention another case?"

Still the same problem.

Lu Xiao said bluntly, "How could there be so many cases? Ever since the Pingyuan Marquis case broke, many officials from different factions in the court have been very quiet for the past six months, fearing they'd be targeted by you, Lord Wei. Even if I wanted to find a case, I couldn't find one. I'm here this time to ask you for something else."

The Dafeng court was not actually too corrupt.

Aside from the fact that Emperor Yuan Jing was a tyrant, both the Duke of Wei and the largest faction, the Wang Party, led by the then Prime Minister Wang Zhenwen, could be considered concerned about the country and the people.

Even if there are some bad guys occasionally, they are definitely not many.

As for the factional disputes in the imperial court, most of the time they are just a matter of disagreement in ideology.

After all, people like Pingyuan Bo are still a minority.

After hearing Lu Xiao's words, Wei Yuan suddenly became curious.

"Oh? What's that?"

Lu Xiao picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, then said.

"510 I would like to ask Duke Wei to join me in killing someone."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yuan's eyes widened instantly.

"Murder? Do you know what you're talking about? Who offended you, or who is corrupt and perverting the law?"

Lu Xiao said, "None of that. I just think he deserves to die. His death would be a good thing for me, for you, Duke Wei, and for all the people of the world."

"So this is all for your own selfish reasons? I'm curious, who has such a special status?"

Wei Yuan's eyes gradually became blurry.

Lu Xiao picked up the tea and took a sip casually before continuing.

"Nothing special, just the emperor of our Dafeng."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yuan's pupils suddenly widened several times.

It was obvious that he was truly shocked by Lu Xiao's outrageous words.

Seeing him like this, Lu Xiao chuckled.

"Duke Wei, please don't say you don't want him to die. From what I know, you and Empress Shangguan have a deep connection. If Emperor Yuan Jing hadn't threatened you with Empress Shangguan's life, you wouldn't have abandoned your cultivation as a second-rank warrior."

Wei Yuan's ancestral home was Yuzhou, and his father was the prefect of Yuzhou.

Forty years ago, the Wushen Cult conquered Xiang, Jing, and Yu Prefectures, slaughtering them all night long. Wei Yuan's entire family perished in the massacre, but his mother managed to save him by pushing him into a dry well.

He ate moss and ants in the well and hid there for seven days before daring to come out.

Later, the Wushen Cult withdrew, leaving behind a devastated landscape and a sea of ​​corpses. Wei Yuan buried his family with his own hands, then walked thousands of miles to the capital to seek refuge with his father's friend, Shangguan Pei.

At Shangguan's house, he met Shangguan Pei's daughter, Shangguan Xixue, and fell in love with her at first sight. After much pursuit, he won her heart.

Later, Shangguan Pei decided to send Shangguan Xixue into the palace in order to curry favor with the emperor. When Wei Yuan and Shangguan Pei learned of this, they decided to elope, but their plan failed. To get revenge on Wei Yuan, Shangguan Pei even castrated him in front of Shangguan Xixue.

Afterwards, Shangguan Xixue was sent to the palace and later helped to become the queen.

A few years later, the two were framed by Concubine Chen, who reported his past with the Empress to Emperor Yuan Jing. To prove his innocence, Wei Yuan signed a military order and commanded the Battle of Shanhaiguan. He later returned victorious and from then on, he gained power and was revered as the military god of Dafeng.

Unfortunately, after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Emperor Yuan Jing became even more wary of Wei Yuan, so he threatened Wei Yuan with the life of his empress, Shangguan Xixue, and forced him to abandon his cultivation.

However, not many people in the world know about this.

Apart from the few people involved, there was only the Director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.

But none of these people could possibly tell this.

Therefore, it is understandable that Wei Yuan was deeply shocked when he heard Lu Xiao's words.

While Wei Yuan was shocked, Lu Xiao continued to drink his tea calmly.

The tea room suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Wei Yuan finally spoke again.

"You do know a lot, but even so, you're asking me to join you in regicide. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "No, I'm not committing regicide. I've never believed that Emperor Yuan Jing is a worthy emperor. If you, Duke Wei, are worried about Empress Shangguan's safety, I can promise to rescue her from the palace first, and then we can discuss this matter. That should be enough sincerity, right?"

To be honest, when Lu Xiao mentioned the last condition, Wei Yuan was almost tempted.

He hated Emperor Yuan Jing and wanted him dead, and even more so, he wanted to rescue his beloved from his clutches.

Unfortunately, Emperor Yuan Jing also knew that Shangguan Xixue was the only person he could use to control Wei Yuan, so the "protection" force around her was very powerful.

Otherwise, Wei Yuan would have rescued Shangguan Xixue long ago, so why would he have abandoned his own cultivation?

But despite his excitement, Wei Yuan finally shook his head.

"Forgive me for not agreeing to this. Not to mention he's just a useless man, for the sake of world peace, Emperor Yuan Jing is indeed not a good emperor. He can die, but not in this way. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos."

This is not a lie.

Emperor Yuan Jing carries half of the fate of Dafeng on his shoulders.

Whoever kills him will lead to a sharp decline in the fortunes of Dafeng.

Once Dafeng's national fortune declines sharply, countless natural and man-made disasters will inevitably occur within Dafeng.

This has been the case over the years.

After hearing this, Lu Xiao laughed and clapped his hands.

"As expected of you, Duke Wei, I knew you would never agree to this out of selfish reasons. However, I didn't lie just now. The reason I wanted to kill Emperor Yuan Jing was for the sake of the people of the world. Duke Wei, please don't be impatient. Let me explain in detail."

"Do you know why there are no super-items in the world today?"

After hearing Lu Xiao's question, Wei Yuan temporarily put Emperor Yuan Jing aside and thought for a moment before nodding and speaking.

"I know that twelve hundred years ago, a superhuman being in the world wanted to devour the world through a method of world destruction in order to break through to a higher realm. Coincidentally, the Confucian Sage emerged at this time and created Confucianism. Within a hundred years, he cultivated to invincibility. Before his death, he sealed away the three greatest superhumans in the world: the Witch God, the Gu God, and the Buddha. This laid the foundation for our human civilization."

Wei Yuan is already one of the most outstanding people in the world today, so knowing these secrets is nothing.

After listening to him, Lu Xiao immediately said.

"Yes, that's true. If the Confucian Sage hadn't sealed all the super-powerful people in the world with his own strength, the world would have been destroyed long ago. But, Lord Wei, do you know that even with the Confucian Sage's strength, it is impossible to seal these super-powerful people forever. They are about to come out."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yuan's expression changed immediately.

"What did you say?"

Lu Xiao said word by word.

"I'm telling you, those super-powerful beings who were sealed away back then will be out soon. In two years at the shortest, four years at the longest, they'll break the seal set by the Confucian Sage and be reborn. Then, another catastrophe will annihilate the world."

Chapter 267 The Secret of Emperor Yuanjing

At this moment, Wei Yuan's expression became more solemn than ever before.

As a second-grade warrior, he was extremely aware of how terrifying the power of a super-grade being was.

Let alone three, even if there was only one super-being bent on destroying the world, it would be an unstoppable catastrophe for the current human world.

But this matter was of great importance, so he had to seek confirmation again.

"Where did you learn this? I'm afraid even your teacher, Dean Zhao Shou, doesn't know about this."

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Since ancient times, a teacher need not be better than his disciples, and a disciple need not be inferior to his teacher. Just because the teacher doesn't know doesn't mean I don't know."

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "A teacher need not be better than his disciple, and a disciple need not be inferior to his teacher. That's a good point, but you still haven't answered my question directly."

Now Lu Xiao was in a bit of a dilemma.

First of all, with his Confucian and Taoist cultivation to this level, he is unwilling to tell a lie no matter what.

There are some things you can't say, but you can't lie.

This is about the heart.

No matter whether the lie is well-intentioned or malicious, it is still a lie. It can deceive others but not yourself.

But if I don't tell you now, Wei Yuan will definitely not believe it.

But this cannot be said explicitly.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiao finally decided to use a more obscure statement.

"To be honest with you, Lord Wei, I read about this in a book. My academy has another masterpiece called the I Ching, written by a great ancestor of our race. If you're interested, Lord Wei, you can go to the academy and take a look at it when you have time. I think you'll gain a lot."

The first half of the sentence is fine, it's not a lie, he really saw these things in a book.

The second half of the sentence was also fine. The Lu Xiao of Joy of Life world knew to bring out all the great works from his past lives, and the Lu Xiao of Dafeng world was no exception.

However, these two sentences combined were enough to mislead Wei Yuan.

The Book of Changes records Fuxi's innate Eight Trigrams technique, and no matter which world it is in, the Eight Trigrams technique is the best prophetic technique in the world.

As expected, after hearing this, Wei Yuan immediately had the wrong idea.

"The Book of Changes? Why have I never heard of this book in the academy?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "There's no need for me to lie to Lord Wei about this. You'll know the truth if you visit the academy. But none of this matters. The catastrophe is approaching. Let's talk about killing Emperor Yuan Jing."

Wei Yuan asked, puzzled, "Since the catastrophe is approaching, we should unite all forces we can. Why do you insist on killing Emperor Yuan Jing?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Because he deserves to die. I don't believe that you, Duke Wei, are completely unaware of Emperor Yuan Jing's deliberate attempts to sabotage the fate of Dafeng over the years."

If Wei Yuan had heard this before, he would have been at least a little surprised.

But today he was shocked enough.

Now, this little thing can no longer shake his mind.

He nodded slightly and said, "I do have some awareness of this, but this is also something I've been unable to comprehend. He's the Emperor of Dafeng. There's no reason for him to do such a thing."

Lu Xiao said, "The only thing that could make an emperor do such a foolish thing is the idea of ​​immortality. He simply wants to emulate the Buddha of old."

What Emperor Yuan Jing is doing today is based on successful cases.

This person is the Buddha of the West.

I think I said it before.

The first super-powerful person of the human race is Dao Zun.

After Dao Zun entered the super-grade realm, he thought of many ways to achieve immortality.

Among them is the method of using the technique of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones to create three clones.

The predecessor of the Buddha in the West was the incarnation of Daozun Renzong.

In the past, he usurped the throne as the mortal emperor using his clone. However, he discovered that those possessed by the fate of the nation could not achieve immortality. Therefore, he deliberately used the same method used by the current Emperor Yuan Jing to undermine the fate of the nation, ultimately attracting the power of a heavenly tribulation. With the help of this power, he shed his old body, traveled to the Western Regions, founded Buddhism, and became the Buddha.

This is what Emperor Yuan Jing wants to do now.

Wei Yuan was such an intelligent man that he completely understood everything after Lu Xiao explained it briefly.

"Emperor Yuan Jing already has connections with the Wushen Cult and the Western Regions Buddhist sect. If the two super-individuals were to revive, given his temperament, he might seize this opportunity to plunge Dafeng into an irretrievable state, thereby fulfilling his ambition of immortality. Therefore, he must and should die before the super-individuals revive."
